Coaching staff visited São João Hospital's paediatric ward | OneFootball

The children admitted to the pediatric ward at São João Hospital received a visit from FC Porto’s technical staff early on Thursday afternoon.

Francesco Farioli once again led the Porto delegation, continuing a tradition that brought moments of joy to the youngest patients. At the start of the 2025/26 season, the Italian coach had visited “Joãozinho” for the first time, where he met Luísa and Francisca, two children with whom he remained in contact and who were later welcomed on two occasions at the Jorge Costa CTFD.

On the second visit to Olival, after receiving the Social Responsibility Award on behalf of the FC Porto Foundation, Luísa offered T-shirts bearing the phrase that united FC Porto on and off the pitch last season: “Falling is part of it, getting back up is the choice.” Francisca, author of a poem displayed at the Jorge Costa CTFD, presented the first copy of her new book, written and inspired after Francesco Farioli’s first visit to “Joãozinho”.

This time, the technical staff of the first team brought gifts for the children and their families, in a moment of togetherness that once again brought the Club closer to the community.
